When the last two shows you've done were accompanied by cold and rain, you start to get nervous about doing the next one, especially when the forecast calls for 30% precip and isolated t-storms. Yikes! Well, Tarrytown, NY was having none of that nonsense. It decided that yesterday was going to have clear skies and be a wonderful 82 degrees. Yup, T-Town and I just get each other.
